2. Lubricate the microwave glass baking sheet with a thin layer of vegetable oil.
3. Place the courgettes on a baking sheet so that they do not come into contact with each other.
4. Season them with salt.
5. Next, sprinkle the fruits with black pepper. If you wish, you can season them with any spices and herbs.
